About

Hi, I’m Peter Egerton. I put this blog together as a central place to accumulate my posts from the various places that I write tech blogs and a collection of the tips, errors and general IT ramblings I come across in my daily work life. Some of these blog posts are from my posts on WMUG, some from the Microsoft TechNet UK blog, employer blogs and finally HybridCloud.Social. All of the content is original so if you see if not on one of these sites then it’s copied, please let me know via twitter or blog comment.

More than patches??

Yes, that’s right it’s about more than just patches. I’ve worked in IT since 2000 and nowadays I specialise in Microsoft end user computing/enterprise mobility/client side stuff. It’s a running joke now from those not in my field that suggest we spend our time just patching stuff. Whilst some days this may feel like the truth in reality it’s about more than patches.

As I said, I’ve been working in IT since 2000 and it’s all I’ve ever known. Nowadays I work for PowerON Platforms who are a Microsoft Gold partner in several disciplines and keep me busy working with customers around the world on their journey to the Microsoft cloud.

Outside of the day job I am also a Windows Management User Group (WMUG) Community Leader and am regularly involved in organising events, writing blogs and speaking at WMUG get-togethers.

Along with years worth of tech certifications I’m a CompTIA certfied Technical Trainer (CTT+) and ex-Microsoft Certified Trainer and I enjoy speaking and teaching anyone who has an interest in learning and listening to what I have to say. In 2018 I received a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award in recognition of my contributions to IT community in the category of Enterprise Mobility.
